I wonder how much of it the youths consume and how much it shapes who they get into, or if they are still just "mostly going by what they see on TV".
I often feel that social media makes it so much easier for fans to get noticed.

For example, I'm sure there were loads of kids just like Izzy back when we were all kids but nothing came of it because nobody really knew of their existence. The most exposure you would probably get would be a section in your local paper for being a "Super Fan" and that would be it. You would cut it out and keep it whilst everyone else would read it, move on with their lives and then forget about it.

Whereas now, thanks to social media, Izzy is known by so many wrestling fans and also wrestlers. I can't imagine Izzy being where she is now if it wasn't for social media.

It's really helped her out. Big time.
